    NRLW - 2024

    Notwithstanding a wish to see Hollie-Mae Dodd succeed, I'm pleased Canberra are losing games. Their non-PTBs are an absolute disgrace. This must be coached, virtually the whole team are rolling the ball through their legs. How bad does it have to get before the refs do something?

    Australia v England 3-game series men and women next year, if you really want to get your act together.

    Santos Cup - PNG Womens National Competition

    Not sure about the wisdom of pitching Orchids against Jillaroos and Kiwi Ferns in Pacific Cup. Pacific Bowl with Tonga, Samoa, Fiji would be better for PNG player development.

    Pacific Championships 2024

    Seem to be arguing against yourself here. Removing Oz from the Pacific Championship for the 2025 Ashes series makes way for Tonga v Samoa. BTW, there is a possible legacy from the old Pacific Cup. This tournament was held irregularly from the mid-70s until 2009. I remember reading about the...

    NRLW - 2024

    Fair dinkum, Gus is a Marmite (Vegemite) character. The good moments make him worthwhile. Case in point, the Simaima Taufa fandom on Sunday. Genuine enthusiasm for a player he respects.

    NRLW - 2024

    Still unclear to what "quality" refers. If it means the games, when one team has too much "quality" for their opposition the outcome can sometimes be a blowout. Alternatively, when two teams are perfectly well-matched in "quality" the outcome can sometimes be risk-averse tedium. My take is...

    Santos Cup - PNG Womens National Competition

    Tigers 4 Dabaris 8 Tight game between the top two. Possible GF pointer. Although I'd imagine Lae Oval is a very different proposition from a neutral venue in PM.

    Dabaris opponents in the semi are the only team to beat them in regular season.

    2024 TV and Streaming Ratings Discussion

    Just watched a "Last two minutes" YouTube video of Geelong/Melbourne AFLW. No thrills, countless spills. I'm afraid all the clichés are true. Group of oddly-dressed women faffing around with a big bar of soap. How does anyone take this seriously?

    Wookie recommenced sharing in the BF ratings thread last week. Rather than go the whole of August without a single post to show. With a purported 110k members, must get a bit lonely. Evokes the Rime of the Ancient Mariner - "Water, water, everywhere, And all the boards did shrink; Water...

    NRLW - 2024

    Re first play Eels/Dragons - Eels player ran the ball back from the kick-off. Was held up and shoved about 10 metres to the side-line. The relevant clause in the rulebook is - "Moving Tackle Player: Where opponents do not make a tackle effective in the quickest possible manner but attempt to...

    Nine commentary and presentation

    The first NRLW try on Saturday involved a wide shift and long-range finish from Tiana Penitani for Sharks. The move was almost over before the lead resumed contemporaneous calling. Allana Ferguson was still talking about a previous play. Commentators not being at the ground is cited as a factor...

    Hence also the satirical ABC proposition. Far from axiomatic that getting PNG over the line is in the interests of NRL or Australian taxpayers.
